Answer #1

12)

number of electron in bonding orbital = 8

number of electron in anti bonding orbital = 2

Bond order = (1/2)*(8-2) = (1/2)*6 = 3

since all electrons in molecular orbital are in pair, it is diamagnetic in nature

13)

C has 6 and O has 8 electron

Total electrons in CO = 6+8 = 14

N has 7 and O has 8 electron

Total electrons in NO = 7+8 = 15

NO+ has 15-1= 14 electrons

So, number of electrons is same for NO+ and CO

So, molecular orbital will also look same

Hence bond order will also be same

Bond order = 3
